Anti-hail missiles? That's a new one. I guess this is a good one for those weather mod/geo-engineering deniers.

Hailstones as big as walnuts and eggs destroyed some 1,000 hectares of orchards and wheat and corn fields in the municipalities of Krupanj and Osečina, and near the city of Valjevo, reports said. Roofs on houses and other structures were also damaged in the storm.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://bleaknews.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/rsoe-edis-serbia-hailstorm-2009-06-06/">“The cloud was 16 kilometers wide, and came from the Republic of Srpska, from across the Drina River. We fired some 200 anti-hail missiles from 40 stations, but that was not enough, because the cloud was very strong,” explains Miodrag Stojanović, who heads the Blizonjski Vis Radar Center near Valjevo.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://bleaknews.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/rsoe-edis-serbia-hailstorm-2009-06-06/">More than 30 stations equipped to fight hail-carrying clouds have thus been left without any missiles.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://bleaknews.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/rsoe-edis-serbia-hailstorm-2009-06-06/">Authorities have undertaken measures to send “at least several to each station”, ahead of this afternoon</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EC19E2A5-B0A0-4573-8F66-B2D55FEAC90B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
